Liverpool are increasingly confident Mohamed Salah will sign a contract extension to stay beyond the summer after progress in talks over recent weeks. 

It is a significant boost to Liverpool, whose captain, Virgil van Dijk, is also likely to prolong his stay beyond June. The Dutchman said this week that progress had been made with regards to securing his future.
